                       HON. ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON

                      of the district of columbia

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 28, 2017

  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask the House of 
Representatives to join me in recognizing Mary Kelley of the District 
of Columbia on her retirement on September 29, 2017, after more than 34 
years of service to the U.S. House of Representatives.
  During Mary Kelley's tenure, she has worked for both the Office of 
the Clerk and the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). She 
is retiring as the Resource Manager for the Office of Acquisitions 
Management within the CAO.
  Mary Kelley began her career in December 1983 as a Clerk Typist for 
the Office of the Clerk. During her time with the Clerk, she worked for 
various offices, including Office Equipment Services and Office Systems 
Management. She also held various positions within these offices, 
including Equipment Accounts Clerk, Senior Accounts Payable Specialist 
and Manager.
  In 1995, Mary Kelley began working for the CAO. She has worked for 
various offices within CAO, including House Support Services, the 
Office Supply and Gift Shop and Acquisitions Management. As the 
Resource Manager for the Office of Acquisitions Management, she was 
responsible for the development, analysis and execution of personnel 
and operational budgets and oversight of payment process activities, 
among other assigned duties. She planned and provided assistance to the 
management team in preparation of the annual budget.
  Upon her retirement, Mary Kelley plans to do more traveling. In 
addition, she hopes to become a volunteer with the Washington 
Nationals, her favorite baseball team. I am pleased and proud that Mary 
Kelley is a D.C. resident.
  Therefore, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
recognizing Mary Kelley for her many years of dedicated service and 
outstanding contributions to the U.S. House of Representatives. We wish 
her many wonderful years in fulfilling her retirement dreams.
